Re: Can we migrate the Flex 3/4 apps to Flex JS?

[Deepak MS]

Hi Alex,
When you say: I ported the old FlexStore example app from MX to Spark and
then to FlexJS

Does that mean that if we want to migrate flex 3 applications, we have to
compulsorily migrate it to flex 4 first(before migrating to FlexJS)?

It wasn’t really possible to measure.  The migration effort exposed lots
of bugs and missing features in the Falcon and FalconJX compiler and the
FlexJS SWCs.  If I had to start over today, now that the compiler and
framework have been debugged sufficiently to run most of the example, it
probably would take me a couple of days to port the code and a week to
debug it, but the true test is how long it would take someone new to
FlexJS so it would be great to have others try it.

And of course, as each person goes through the process of attempting to
migrate their code we hope to learn what we need to do to make it easier
for the next person.

I’m in the middle of making some changes to the FlexJS APIs to make future
ports easier.  When I get that finished I hope to blog or wiki a
comparison of the Spark code vs FlexJS code so folks can see what some
differences and potential gotchas are.

I've just checked how often the issue occurs and in the last month I can only 
find 1 instance of global player swc that is likely to be related to a bad 
download. Larger downloads the Flex SDK and AIR may have slightly higher error 
rates I'll look further into it. But it looks tome as if we actually aborting a 
large number of valid installs for something that only occurs very infrequently.

At one point, we discussed having future install scripts pull the MD5 for
FP/AIR from one of our CI servers.  MD5Checker would leave the MD5’s in
files in last successful build artifacts and the install scripts would
look there.  Then the gap would close to however long it takes between
MD5Checker runs.  It currently runs on the hour, but if it gets behind a
flex-sdk-release build it can go longer.

Well, that’s the goal.  For sure, we don’t have all of the components yet.
 FlexJS is effectively alpha-quality.  We welcome volunteers to help write
more components. I recently posted that I ported the old FlexStore example
app from MX to Spark and then to FlexJS.  The source for the MX version is
here [1], the Spark version is here [2] and the FlexJS version is here
[3].  A running version of the FlexJS example is here [4]

If you want to work with us on make migration more possible and easier, I
will do what I can to help.

Re: TLF performance issue

I saw this recently too but didn't see it until recently either. I'm
guessing something slipped through along the way.

Is it possible to add performance tests to must tella? For example, it took
test X 100ms but now it's taking 1000ms. Maybe we can throw a warning?

It seems like your main source path is not set to "src".  If you set it to
src, it might fix your problem.

Or you could try:   skinClass:
ClassReference("sparkSkins.SkinForCustomItemRendererComponent");

What folder are you setting the source path as?  It should be
mainFlexProject/src (or mainFlexProject/src/main/flex in some conventions)
 It depends on how your main flex project is configured like.

RE: [DISCUSS] Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.2

I have committed a fix for the checkboxes on the license screen so hopefully
it works in the next generated nightly build.

I tested it on windows with changing between SDKs and languages and all
expected checkboxes were being displayed and I didn't encounter the 1009

Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.2

Hi Neil,

It sounds like there may still be confusion about how the checkbox set is
determined.  For recent releases like Flex SDK 4.13 and 4.14, and for FlexJS
releases, the 'final' list of items is not in the InstallApacheFlex.mxml
file at all.  Really, there is no final list.  It is totally data driven
from xml files co-located with the release artifacts and can be different
for each release.  We can even change an .xml file after we release and the
Installer needs to pick up that change at runtime.  There is a set of
checkboxes in InstallApacheFlex.mxml, but that is used for Flex SDK 4.12.1
and older (actually even whether 4.12.x uses the built-in checkboxes is
determined by another .xml file).

IOW, we are trying to make the installer be totally data driven, but it has
to keep an old code path around.  It looks like when the language changes,
the installer reverts to the old code path.  It needs to go down the new
code path with the new language.

HTH,
-Alex

Flex 4.6 Spark Skin question

[David Frank]

Hey guys,

First time mailing the group. Let me introduce myself. I've been working on 
Flex 3.2 for the past 6 years, and I've only recently upgraded my project to 
Flex 4.6.

I'm having difficulty in two areas and I've Googled the hell out of this but 
all the web links that seem to have the answers, are dead. Serves me right for 
upgrading 6 years after Flex 4 was introduced.

Anyway, I'm hoping some of you might have the answer to my issues.

Issue 1:
I have a main Flex project for my application. I have a separate Flex project 
(a "style" project) that has all the style definitions and assets in it. The 
.css file is located under src/skin folder inside this style project. The 
problem is that I'm not able to 'ClassReference' my skin class. The compiler 
keeps throwing an error saying that the class is not found. Here is my sample:

custom|CustomItemRendererComponent
{
  skinClass: 
ClassReference("skin.sparkSkins.SkinForCustomItemRendererComponent");
}

If I move my .css file directly under the src folder, then the compiler seems 
to find the class. If it is under src/skin, this breaks. Can someone tell me if 
there is a workaround for this without having to move the .css file directly 
under the src folder?


Issue 2:
A skin class is inside a separate Flex project (a "style" project as mentioned 
above). I am unable to declare the HostComponent inside the skin class if this 
is a custom component belonging to the main Flex project. Here is my sample:

[HostComponent("custom.itemRenderers.CustomItemRendererComponent")]

The CustomItemRendererComponent is defined inside the main Flex Project. So, I 
thought that this was the reason the compiler is not able to find the class. 
So, I linked the entire main Flex project in the Source Path of my style 
project. But this still does not get rid of the error. I even get the class in 
the code hinting, but the compiler doesn't see the class. The error goes away 
only if I physically move the skin class somewhere inside the style project. 
This is not feasible unfortunately. Can someone help please? Is there a way I 
can fix the compiler error or maybe tell the compiler to ignore this "error" in 
any way? FYI, until this error goes away, I'm forced to change the 
HostComponent to "spark.components.SkinnableContainer" (super class of 
CustomItemRendererComponent). I would prefer to use the actual custom component 
class though.


Thank you in advance for your help!

Installer MD5 errors

[Justin Mclean]

HI,

We usually get zero or occasionally a couple FP SDK MD5 failures/day, but 
yesterday we got 111. It's reasonable to assume than 100+ of them are due to 
Adobe releasing new player globals and our MD5 hashes being out of date. I 
think it would be sensible to make the MD5 failure check non fatal but warn the 
user and continue with the install process as it seems the majority of the 
installer failures of this type are false positives.

Thanks,
Justin

I have committed an update to the installer badge so it stops early if

which should do the job. It displays an Alert saying

This was already happening if something goes wrong with main installer config.

RE: [DISCUSS] Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.2

[Neil Madsen]

Hi Alex,
Yes, this is exactly what is happening. When the language changes it doesn't
check if there is data from the XML file available. It simply rebuilds the
list of items from a predefined set in this method
"initializeInstallerComponentsDataProvider()". It should be looking for any
data stored in "_installerComponentsDataProvider" and use that data if it's
there. 

What I think has happened is that when the code was added to load the XML
config data, the installer wasn't updated to use that data in all scenarios
(and there are more than a few now). 

I think I know what needs to happen now so I'll try to wire it all up and
get a working version. If I have any troubles I'll be sure to ask on the
list. I'm pretty sure the "_installerComponentsDataProvider" and the
"usingXML:Boolean" need to be used within the
"initializeInstallerComponentsDataProvider()" method to determine what
components/checkboxes are supposed to be displayed. This will allow for the
dynamic data and a fallback for versions not using the XML config data.

I'll post back with my results.

Hi Neil,

It sounds like there may still be confusion about how the checkbox set is
determined.  For recent releases like Flex SDK 4.13 and 4.14, and for FlexJS
releases, the 'final' list of items is not in the InstallApacheFlex.mxml
file at all.  Really, there is no final list.  It is totally data driven
from xml files co-located with the release artifacts and can be different
for each release.  We can even change an .xml file after we release and the
Installer needs to pick up that change at runtime.  There is a set of
checkboxes in InstallApacheFlex.mxml, but that is used for Flex SDK 4.12.1
and older (actually even whether 4.12.x uses the built-in checkboxes is
determined by another .xml file).

IOW, we are trying to make the installer be totally data driven, but it has
to keep an old code path around.  It looks like when the language changes,
the installer reverts to the old code path.  It needs to go down the new
code path with the new language.

Re: [Installer - FLEX-34251] Is SSK needed for load installer config?

[Alex Harui]

I’m going to try to see if I can capture where we are:

At least one person got stuck because AIR on Windows uses IE/OS settings
that needed tweaking otherwise it blocked an HTTPS download.  Yet of the
list of common failures, many others failed after getting past at least
two HTTPS downloads.

We have several votes to not use https at all.  There is still a chance
that now or someday, some download that first attempts http will fail or
be redirected to https.

We have an option to replace URLLoader with an AS3 native HTTP
implementation.  AIUI, there is a chance that will just solve everything
and we won’t need to care about HTTP vs HTTPS any more.  Can someone
confirm?

A new idea that popped into my head is having a checkbox in the Installer
where you can select to use HTTPS.  Is that practical?  IMO, we’d default
to HTTP and folks who are concerned would opt in to HTTPS.

What do others think?  IMO, for 3.2 we should just do the swap of an AS3
native HTTP implementation and not switch our urls to HTTP or add some
checkbox.  Then we can get better data on how many problems that change
solved or if it introduces new issues.  Not that I’m volunteering to do
that work.

Re: [Installer - FLEX-34251] Is SSK needed for load installer config?

[Nicholas Kwiatkowski]

I'd recommend against using the client to bypass the windows settings.  If
we do, the we need to expose properties like Proxy Settings, and need to
deal with locations that disallow large TCP window sizes (for example,
users on AT&T DSL have to force their TCP Window size to 1440 instead of
1500 which is the OS default).  We would need to package in an ANE to read
the registry settings for these settings if we plan on doing the download
raw.

Re: [DISCUSS] Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.2

[Alex Harui]

Hi Neil,

AIUI, the quantity of checkboxes should be the same after switching
languages, and for a recent release like 4.14, the text for each checkbox
should match what is pulled from the apache-flex-sdk-installer-config.xml
for that release.  4.14’s is here [1], 4.13’s is here [2]:

The installer has two major code paths.  The “legacy” code path assumes a
particular set of checkboxes that is coded into the source.  The “new”
code path derives the set of checkboxes from these .xml files. I imagine
what we are seeing is that on a language change you end up back in the
legacy code path’s set of checkboxes, instead of pulling new text from the
.xml file.

Thanks,
-Alex

Re: [Installer - FLEX-34251] Is SSK needed for load installer config?

[Alex Harui]

Very weird.  This time when I hit the link I ended up at

https://code.google.com/p/as3httpclient/

Which does show BSD, but last time I ended up at

https://code.google.com/p/as3httpclientlib/

Which shows MIT.  I guess there is more than one version of AS3 Native
HTTP.  Whoever works on it can pick one or the other as long as the
LICENSE is updated correctly.

RE: [DISCUSS] Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.2

[Neil Madsen]

If you have a list of checkboxes that should be on the license screen for
v4.14.0 I can at least try and get that part fixed up. As for the SDK not
being able to be used it could stem from this if there are bits that are
loaded that didn't need to be and vice versa. Once this is updated it may
fix that issue as well. 

I haven't come across that issue but it may be caused by the additional
checkboxes appearing after the language change.

Yes and even worse if you now continue from this point it makes an SDK that
doesn't work.

I've raised this issue on the list recently but other PMC members didn't
think it would occur enough to be considered an issue.

RE: [DISCUSS] Release Apache Flex SDK Installer 3.2

[Neil Madsen]

Thanks Piotr. I see what's happening.
Can someone please give a list of all required/optional check boxes to be
displayed for v4.14.0

There has been so much discussion regarding what should and shouldn't be
required I lost track and I'm not sure where it stands right now. If I have
a list I can fix up the error when changing languages on the license screen.

Hi,

I've just tried last nightly build of installer (Build #380) and on the
license agreements I see:

Once I change language I see:

Did I miss a thread somewhere?  I don’t recall any PMC member saying that
we should ship Installer 3.2 with this problem.  Piotr wrote that he found
this in the nightly build.  I certainly support someone trying to find a
fix for 3.2.

Ugh.  Did you find BSD somewhere?  That could mean the authors didn’t
handle their IP carefully.

When I go to their site [2] on the left column it clearly says “MIT
License” and on GitHub the License.txt file [3] looks like MIT to me.  Or

Hi folks,

Apologies for asking this in here but I mailed the Apachecon people and got
no reply from them.

I'm putting together a budget for attending Apachecon (coming from Ireland)
but first would like to know if there will be many (or any) Flex seminars
at the event.

Thanks,

TLF performance issue

[goratz]

Hi all,

first of all sorry for my English. 

I have a very strange performance diference between 2 versions of
TextLayout.swc. The first one is the swc included in Apache Flex 4.14 SDK
and the second one is included in Apache Flex 4.9.1.

I have a very large text more or less 200 DIN-A4 pages in a Textflow. I
scroll to the end of the document and I underline a word and this is my
result underling a word in both versions.

*4.9.1* 21 ms (miliseconds). 0,02 Seconds


*4.14* 3.405 ms (miliseconds). 3,4 Seconds

The time difference happens in this line of code:
EditManager.applyLeafFormat(oFormat);

Anyone has any idea what's the problem?

FLEX - FormItem - Space still present when content not visible

[amadese]

Hi,

I'm a beginner with Flex. I would like to hide several fields in a form
under conditions. I have tried to use the property "visible" and all is
working perfectly. Nevertheless, spaces are still displayed in the form when
these fields are hidden... And I do not know how to delete them. I thought
to build a function in order to do that (reduce the height to 0 of the
formItem for example when the field has to be hidden), but I do not know how
to implement this feature and how to use it in the code.



  



Could you please help me?

Thank you in advance,
